   All that comes to mind is one of the last scenes in Terminator 2 where the futuristic robot is changing forms in the lavapot (or whatever) to see if it can escape.
   
   The only thing happening from this I can see is AOL trying to sell the domains back to the user once they get fixated on using them for an extortionate (new word) amount of money and pissing off any remaining users they may have.

   Virus Protection?

   How can AOL protect against viruses? They are one. They try to spread to as many computers as posible and then they stop them from working properly. It seems hard to use a virus to protect against viruses.

    Not true, it has been the case several times in the past that a virus will actively seek and destroy other virii it finds on the system that may interfere with it's own operations. While this may all seem like semantecs, it only helps to strenghthen the point that AOL is itself a virus. The only missing piece of the puzzle here is that by definition a virus is software that causes harm, self replicates and carries a destuctive payload...hold on...all these are true as well.
    conclusion:AOL is a virus.

    This isn’t a good example of crowdsourcing. It’s not even a good idea!

    They stole my domain. I want it back!!! I need it. My livelihood is being adversely affected by this. I have bills to pay. There must be a law against this. If not, we need one.
